Paul when you get the bike running what happens if you apply the bi-starter when warm? If the answer is no change, then the bi-starter must not be functioning as the bike should instantly stall Regards Mark
Well at long last I have pulled the carb off and inspected it. The air correction jet looked partially blocked so I blew some air down it which seemed to clear it. I then (for some reason not even known to me) blew air down the other end and then it looked restricted again - couldn't see daylight wh...
Chris thanks for the advice. I think the dimple you mention refers to the section on the top of the float which has a sort of dimple but mine is a greater depression within that caused by wear. I will certainly give the idea of changing washers a go as in the past I have noticed that the bike does i...
actually - thinking about it I believe I have another better condition float kicking around in the garage so I will make a substitution and see if there is a difference. The bistarter needs full choke on cold but soon goes back in - less then a minute. Still I will check it is not sticking and fully...
thanks for the replies. I will have to check engine braking next time im out on it but I don't think it is overly noticeable. One thing I must pay attention to is the float height though, as the contact point on the float to the shut off valve is a bit concave from wear. I had thought of applying a ...
I took the square 4 for a blast on new years day covering over 70 miles at speeds between 50 and 70mph On the way home I had to hit reserve despite having a good few gallons above the reserve line prior to the journey. I estimate I was getting around 35MPG or so. No leaks - not an overly rich mixtur...
Simes I originally bent the brake rod to fit long before fitting the lower guard . Fortunately it did not need bending again. Attached is the best I can do with the bike in the garage hopefully the brake switch can be seen, and although everything is close , there is no fouling or other contact - De...
Simes Only a few months ago I bought one of these for my 51 square 4 and it fits fine I have the brake rod as for that year and it is a tight fit. I've only just put the bike back in the garage after a 75 mile blast down the motorway but will try and get a couple of pics for you if you are having tr...
